$50 does almost every one. The use Of
linen and cotton for underwear is one OF
the conmoncst Of oil errors in this conn-
try. Now in Germany we have u move:
ment which is called the German school
Of clothing reform. It aims to replace
cotton and linen with WOODEN goods.
There are many reasons why this should
l,e done. Wool exercises stimulating
effect upon the skin, unlike linen and
cotton, and consequently promotes the
proper action of the pores, glands and
superficial tissues. It is Il nonconductor
Of heat and preserves the normal tempe.
ature of the body. 1t allows II freer es-
cape of the perspiration. and thus lowers
by evaporation, any abnormal tempera-
turc OF the body, and facilitates the loss
Of excessive heat Also, through its non-
cOnductivity of heat. it preserves the
normal measure Of warmth. Hence it is
IL better protection against the extremes
of either heat on cold than linen or
cotton"
'Wcll, those certainly Go seem TO he

'Inlcc,l they are, but they are not all.
Wool is electrical, while linen and cotton
are not Wool can excite electricity, but
does not conduct it. Therefore II body
clothed in wool loses less Of its ami
nal electricity, while fresh electricity
is excited on the surface. The intimate
relationship between galvanic, nervous
and vital forces render this popularity of
the greatest Importance to the wealvr.''
''Why doesn't every one wear wool
then.'
Because" answered the physician,
"the old idea of having something tlumsy
and gauzy next to the flesh is too firmly

turcrs Of underwear for them to expert

" large number of sick men of seemingly
incurable disorders by simply prescribing

ARMOUR BOYCOTTED.

The Knights of Labor Issue a Secret Cir
cular Against the Great Packer.
CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 3.-A secret circu-
lar has been issued by District assemblies
Nos. 81 and 1856, Knights OF Labor of
Chicago as boycott against Armour &
Co. 1t is quite lengthy rec;t!ng the stock
yards trouble, brands Armour and other
capitalists as relentless grinding monopo-
lists, .andswith whitening words refers to
the attempt to compel the Knights of La
Dor to sin an iron clad agreement re-
nouncing allegiance to all labor organiza-
tions. Then follows an appeal 10 the
workingmen, which says in part: "Let
this domineeriDg autocrat know that
while he may be enabled to
employ scsb labor, American So
ciety will refuse to eat his meats when
they must do it at the expense of human
liberty and common justice. We don't

THOSE who deem themselves wise in
political forecast are now bringing Ros-
coe Conkling to the front as the next
senator from New York. Miller, the
present incumbent, is laboring, it IS said,
for it, but his labors it is prophesied, will
come to naught. Logan's death necessi-
tates new leadership for the anti Blaine
element, and who more fit than Roscoe
Conkling, animated by ambition and
spurred to battle by the remembrance
that this same Mr.. Miller was used in
1881 as one of the instruments in bring
ing about that proud mans humiliation?
The tilt between Blaine and Conkling
would distance in interest any prize fight
and those of the opposing party would
look on in impartial pleasure.

THE GAZETTE: FORT WORTH TEXAS TUESDAY, JANUARY 4.

piled. This society should have the full
management of the affairs of the institu-
ton, receiving and disbursing all mon
eys contributed, and with q bond
ed treasurer. Then let a branch
society be organized in every city and
county town in the state, with people of
probity and high social standing as Off
GERS. Once, or even twice year these
branch societies can arrange for entel tain
ments, dramatic, musical and literary.
There are cultivated ladies and gentlemen
in every town in the state who will cheer
fully lend their aid in such entertain
ments, and it is not saying too much to
assert that paying audiences can be had
at least twice year to such entertain
ments. The funds SO raised could be for
warded to the parent society st Austin for
use. THE GAZETTE cannot think of any
county town in the state where at least
$50 to 500 cannot be raised each year by
the means suggested. In the cities and
large towns the sum would of course be
much greater, and thus every year there
would be assured an income perhaps ade-
quate to the needs of the institution, flow
ing directly from the people and given
cheerfully. This is only crude outline
and the details will require
elaboration, but it is commended
to the consideration Of the ladies and gen.
tlemen at Austin who have interested
themselves in the undertaking. THE GA
zETTE will be glad to see an institution
built up in Texas that will furnish COM
Portable home for every veteran of the
Lost Cause who is needy and disabled,
either by age or loss Of limbs, who has
no home Of his own or friends able and
willing to care for him. The Southern
people must do this work themselves.
There are no pensions or homes provided
by the national government for those who
fought on the losing side. Southern peo-
pie do not grumble at or declaim against
this discrimination. 1t is the fate of war,
and in that sense legitimate. But the
fact that the discrimination does exist
should stimulate Southern men and wo-
men to care for the declining years OF
those who stand in need of Gas SO many
e1-Confederates do) help and sympathy.

THE EX-C0NFEDERATE HOME.

Judging from newspaper paragraphs
THE GAZETTE sees here and there, there
is more or less gambling over the outcome
of the gift concert given at Austin last
week, in aid Of the establishment of the
Confederate home, most laudable pur-
pose by-the-by. Tickets were sold
throughout the state and it is safe to say
that nearly every ticket holder hoped to
win the principal prize, which was $500 in
gold. Of course only one ticket could cap
ture that prize, and hence the number Of
disappointed is large. Nothing else could
be expected, for the majority of people
who buy chances in lotteries do so with
the hope of getting a great deal more
than they invest. There were some how
ever who bought purely and simply
to aid the movement, without a
thought of the speculative feat
ure, and these will join THE GAZETTE
in the hope that the proceeds Of
the ticket sales will prove large enough
to be of material value in carrying out
the objects of the enterprise. Perhaps a
better plan might have been found than q
lottery to raise money, but the drawing is
over now and every one who invested in
tickets went into the scheme with eyes
wide open, well knowing how tickle for
tune is. 1t is altogether probable that
additional appeals will have to be made
to the people Of the state to put the Home
in the effective condition that is desirs-
Bile. THE GAZETTE believes the people
Of Texas can be aroused to an
adequate degree of interest in the
Home by simple appeals to SYM
psthy and patriotism. Perhaps the man
ayers of the home have settled upon
plan for future operations Gin the way of
raising money! but if they have not THE
GAZETTE would suggest the following for
their consideration: There should be a
parent society st Austin because the
home is to be located there) composed of
ladies and gentlemen whose names and
will be guarantee to the whole
state that every dollar received by such
society will be honestly and wisely ap-

A Salmon Flag.

Mr.. Bancroft, the Pacific coast histo-
torian, in his annals of immigration to
Oregon in 1S43, relates little incident
that strikingly illustrates how ground
LEES our fears are sometimes, and how
suddenly mountain Of trouble may van
ish from our pathway. The company of
emigrants led by Peter II. Burnett and j.
W. Nesmitb, on arriving at Fort Hall was
disorganized. A few of the least eDcum-
bered took the lead on horseback. NJ. NJ
McCsrver, who was IN the van with 4
small party as they approached the Amer
lean Falls on Snake river, became greatly
alarmed at what he mistook for red isg.
Thinking there might be hostile Indians
in the vicinity, he formed his men into
line for battle and marching up to the red
signal, discovered that it was a large sal
mon slit open and hoisted on apole to no.
tify travellers that there was fish for sale.

a Good yytfe,s ADVICE.

When trade grew slack, and bills fell
due, the bridesmaids face grew long and
blue; his dreams were troubled through
the night with sheriff's bailiffs all in
sight. At last his wife unto him said,
"Rise up at once, get out of bed, and get
your paper, ink and pen, and say these
words unto al men: 'MY goods wish
to sell you, and to your wives and daugh-
tiers, too; my prices are SO very low, that
all will buy before they co." He did as
his good wife advised, and in the papers
advertised. Crowds came and bought of
sll he had, his bills were paid, his dreams
were glad; and he will tell You to this
day how well did printers ink repay. He
boasteth, with knowing wink, how he
was saved by printers ink.

His Immediate Friends Say the Doctors
Did 1t.
NEW YORK, Jan. S.-A special from
Washington to the Herald says: Rumors
are shoat of disposition among Gen.
Logan's friends to impute the cause of
his very unexpected death to some mis-
take of the doctors. The blunt state
ment is made thai Gen. Logan was killed
by the administration of aconite or NOR
phine, or both. Color Is given to this be-
lief from statement which Gen. Logan
made to friend who called upon him
few days prior to his death.
This gentleman entered the room
while DR.. Baxter and Gen. Lo-
gan were engaged in q discussion re-
garding the use of aconite as one Of the
remedies in his case. Gen. Logan pro-
tested strongly against the use of this
remedy. After the doctor left the room
Gen. Logan said: "I can't trust these
doctors. Last night they left lot of
stuff that I would not take, and had
the medicine taken away" Gen. Lu-
gsn's friends are outspoken in the belief
that he need not have died, and there is
promise of medical dispute.

AN INVESTMENT FOR TEXAS.

AN INVESTMENT FOR TEXAS.
The legislature will be asked, SO THE
GAZETTE learns. to make an appropria,
ton for the proper representation OF
Texas interests at the American exhibit
ton which is to open in London next
May. Every branch of American indus
try and genius will be illustrated at that
exhibition. and number of the states
have already made arrangements to put
their resources forward in the best light
possible, after the fashion OF state exhib-
it's at the centennial and New Orleans ex-
positions. 1t is pretty safe to assume
that great crowds of people, representing
the best elements of European popula-
tions, will be attracted to the exhibition
and the result cannot fail to awaken new
interest in everything American. There
is no question about the benefits derived
from such exhibits. They pay, and that
handsomely. The $4,000 spent by the
state to give Texas showing at New Or
leans last year was the wlsest e1pend-
iture this state has made in many years.
There is no computing how many
people and how much capital it
brought here, the direct result of the ex-
hibit. THE GAZETTE has an idea that it
will be like drawing blood from turnip
to get any money out of the Twentieth
legislature for the London exhibition.
Tne percentage of new members in
the body will be very large, and the
aversge new legislator always aspires
(no matter how important the interests
that suffer- TO make reputation on the
side of "retrenchment and REFORM" He
doesn't want to vote money for anything
but his per diem. 1t would be good
thing for Texas, though, if the legisla-
turc could be induced to appropriate a
small sum, $4,000 or SIS, 900, put it in
the hands of live, level-headed man,
and tell him to go to London and with
the means at his disposal make the very
best showing possible for Texas. The
money would all come back, and with
big interest, tor the outlay would be in
vestment Of the best kind.

MORE TESTIMONY.

The Truth and Nothing but the Truth as
Reported from Young CoSntys 4
GRAHAM, TEX, Dec 81, 1886,
To the Editor Of the Gazette.
Owing to the COL fiicting reports that
have gone out regarding thesscondiion OF
the people of Young county a GAZETTE:
correspondent took it upon hiwssff to in-g
terview quite number of sisrmers liyisr
in different neighborhoods, Some of2the
county officers, including the county
judge and the relief committee, with
view to getting the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth, as to
the number of drought sufferers, if any,
in the county, and the amount
required for their relief. Mr.. L. j.
Bower, one OF the principal merchants
OF Graham who was appointed by the
county court to superlntend the diStribu-
ton of supplies donated from abroad,
stated that about two car loads OF provis-
ions, consisting OF flour, meal, bacon and
corn had been received and distributed to
over two hundred persons, who were re-
Quired to sign an instrument which sets
forth that the applicant had no means of
support, could get no employment and
was actually in need Of aid. Some of
these have large families, some are wild
ows, some own nothing at all, while
few owned small farms and
some stock. A very large major
ity who applied for aid are ''renters"
who own no stock and live by renting
farms or small tracts Of land, paying
certain portion of the crop raised as
rental instead Of cash. Mr.. Bower has
taken particular pains to find out the real
condition of the people, and he drmly be-
lieyes that there are at least $50 families
in Young county who are in destitute
circumstances, without means of sup
port, and who can get no employment,
a d that $4,000 Will be required for their
relief. Mr.. Bower has been q merchant
IN Graham for nearly nine years
and has acquaintance in nearly
every part of the county, and obtained
his Information from the county commits
sloners, the trustees of the various
schools in the county, from some of the>
relief committees and from other sources.
County Judge H. D. Williams CORRIDOR
ates Mr.. Bowers statement, but thought
$4,000 very low estimate for the amount
required to aid the sufferers until the
next croS is made. THE GAZETTE cor
has no prejudice or bias in
the affair, but until now believed with
many others that the reports of the con-
dition of the drought sufferers in Young
county had been greatly exaggerated.
